The Day That Wasn't

Hello Everyone, this is Morry. Rachel is talking on the phone so she asked me to write the blog.

This morning, Noah got up around 8am, but played very well in his crib for another hour. I got up at 9am and got the boys dressed and brought them downstairs. Evan asked to watch Wall-E so I put that on for him. Both boys were very well behaved until Rachel came downstairs around 11am.

When Rachel got down, we went to Old Navy and Petco. We had some stuff to return to Old Navy. At Petco, we needed to get food for Lizzy. We thought I'd just run in and pick up the food. However, Evan really wanted to come in. Noah and I went and got the food while Rachel and Evan looked at the fish. Then we went over to the section where there were ferrets and mice and hamsters. Evan and Noah just loved watching the animals play. Noah was really smiling.

We got home and made lunch for everyone and then put the boys down for naps.

Today we thought that two things were going to happen. I found out a childhood friend is in town for South by Southwest so I thought we'd be getting lunch or doing something this afternoon. We also thought that Sherah, JW, Nolan, Court and Aunt Susan were going to come down for an early dinner and we'd pick up barbecue.

My friend ended up having a late night and didn't get lunch until the middle of the afternoon. Sherah and JW were very tired and since it's not a short trip down here ended up staying up in Round Rock. I'm going to go to dinner with my friend tomorrow and we'll try to catch up with Sherah and JW later.

Evan didn't end up napping. I was talking on the phone to my mom and I just heard really loud bangs. When I went up there, he had put on his cars boots on and was jumping up and down, purposely trying to make a loud sound. We ended up reading some books together and then played GeoTrax. While he was playing with GeoTrax, I put on the TV and Young Frankenstein was on (one of the greatest movies of all time). Evan actually was watching a bunch of it. I'm not sure how much he understood.

For dinner I made Benihana-style fried rice but mixed in ground beef.

We gave the boys baths tonight but both boys were very cranky in the baths. They are now in bed.

Until next time...
